Fertility meds and natural birth?

So I need clomid to ovulate, I am on my second month with it and I am praying I am pregnant. But I got a little slack from a friend of a friend when I mentioned that we are planning on a home birth. She knew we were using clomid and commented "Why not just get the drugs to get the baby out since you are using drugs to get the baby in?" Then she laughed like she was the best comedian in the world. But it kind of hurt my feelings. Is it wrong of me to use fertility meds to get pregnant then have a natural birth?

seriosuly that was rude...its so hard when you are having fertility issues! some people just will never understand.

i also took hormone replacment but decided on bio-identical instead of the clomid....i dont think my home birth was any different because i needed something to help regulate ovulation and maintain implantation!!!

I used clomid to help conceive my first and had an induced labor without other interventions. It's possible and admirable to have a goal of natural birth no matter how conception occurred. good luck and keep your head up!

that makes no sense. Natural birth is the healthiest start for babies(unless there is some medical problem). So why would you deny that healthy, beautiful start to life? Sending you some baby dust and encouragement. I have had 2 homebirths(one of them 2 wks ago!), it is an amazing experience.
